Change IV A Dollar

TUESDAY TUESDAY TUESDAY TUESDAY TUESDAY

So, here’s the thing. I’m not sure if all, or any, of you realize the magnitude of the situation we’re in right now. HISTORY—like what’s in the books that all of us had to read in high school—is being made. We have the opportunity to vote the first Black president into office. And not only is it in our lifetime, it’s TUESDAY. Everyone, especially black people, complain how we’re at the bottom of the political food chain. Well now is the chance to be proactive about it. You’ve heard this before, I’m sure. So what’s the problem? I don’t hear nearly as many people geeked about going to vote on Tuesday as I do about So and So’s Halloween Party. This is so much bigger than you. This is about your kids, and your grandkids and allowing them to have better opportunities than you. I’m sure you’ve watched one of those documentaries on slavery, or violence against blacks in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Those people died…DIED… for us to have the opportunities we have today. So I don’t think it’s a huge inconvenience to ask you just to go VOTE. I can guarantee you that Barack will do more for you than any party promoter, club owner, etc. And if the only reason you’re voting for Barack is because he’s black—from an ethical standpoint, go and watch at least a speech or two on YouTube. He’s not some shuck and jive nigga. He’s a very educated, well-spoken, passionate, and qualified candidate. Also, instead of being so concerned with your Halloween costumes—be sure you know what you can and cannot wear at the polls. Nothing endorsing any candidates can be worn—no tee shirts, no hats, no pins, etc. . So go vote. Yeah it’s going to be cold and yeah the lines will be long. Whatever. I don’t see the lines at the club getting any shorter. They want you to get discouraged; they want to be able to prove that we don’t deserve to vote because even when we have the opportunity to change the world, we won’t. That’s the end of my rant, I’ll get off my soapbox now.
